Multivariable Logistic Regression Analysis of Factors Correlated With Arterial Stiffness in the 116 Hypertensive Patients
| Variables | Odds Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| DBP (per 1 mm Hg) | 1.1 | 1.0 to 1.2 | 0.003 |
| Mimecan | 1.1 | 1.0 to 1.2 | 0.009 |
| ET-1 | 2.9 | 1.3 to 6.4 | 0.007 |
| Cr | 1.1 | 1.0 to 1.1 | 0.005 |
P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Cr indicates creatinine; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; ET-1, endothelin 1.
